Why is it important to keep the TV screen at seated eye level?

Answer

Keeping the TV screen at seated eye level improves viewing comfort by preventing neck strain and fatigue. When the screen is too high, like above a fireplace, your head tends to tilt back, which quickly causes discomfort during long viewing sessions. Placing the TV in a living room nook on a low console or built-in keeps the screen perfectly aligned with natural sightlines, enhancing the overall movie night experience and encouraging relaxed, pain-free watching.
